Pits and Fissure Sealants |
What is pits and fissure sealants?Why it is necessary?
Pits and fissure sealants are a plastic coat that is applied on a
chewing surfaces of molars and premolars.These posterior(back) teeth
have depressions on their surface named as pits and fissures. Because
pits and fissures are difficult to clean we recommend these sealants.
This sealant then make a barrier and protect teeth from decay.
Is sealant application a complicated procedure?The procedure is painless, simple, fast and eaSy. It takes only a few minutes to seal each tooth. First, the teeth to be sealed are cleaned and polished throughl. Then we roughned the chewing surfacesof the teeth with an acid solution. We leave that solution on a tooth surface for few seconds and wash throughly. Acid helps to create pores on the tooth ename so that sealant can adhere to the tooth. The sealant is then 'painted' onto the tooth enamel, where it bonds directly to the tooth and hardens.
This sealant then make a barrier and protect teeth from decay.
How long will they lasts? Sealants can withstand chewing force and reapplication is not frequenly needed. They can lasts many years.
Who is a good candidate for sealants?The probability of developinf decay starts early in life, so children and the teen agers are obvious candidates. However, adult can also have this and protect their teeth from decay.
If I put sealant on my teeth, will my teeth never have a decay?Sealant is applied only on the chewing surface of the tooth. If you fail to clean other surface of the tooth, you may develop decay on other surface.

I found whole Dent-Inn member co-operative and very helpful. The most which I liked about this clinic is its homely treatment environment. The proper appointment is the best factor of this clinic. Because of this patients don't need to wait for several hours for their turn to get treatment. The patient treatment record is the good facilities over here. Lastly, patients whoever got treatment here usually don't need to go elsewhere for any kind of treatment.-Sher Bahadur Gurung |
